Consensus Brief

Microduck is a newly released affordable open-source bipedal robot developed by Pollen Robotics in collaboration with Hugging Face. The robot can be trained to walk using NVIDIA's Isaac Lab and Newton, allowing users to export the trained policy as ONNX for deployment on the physical robot. This workflow enables developers to test and validate their models in simulation before real-world application.
